Strain Creation

[MesterGreen]

I am going to be attempting a crossing of 4 plants and I am wondering how I should go about it. Should I go about it crossing 2 plants at a time stabilizing that specific cross then add in a strain to it and stabilize again, repeat process?

What are they?

Well the goal is to cross Sensi Star with Deep Chunk, Sharksbreath and Taskenti... I don't have my keeper pheno of Sharksbreath yet and I havent even planted my Taskentis yet... I am just trying to gather some info how I should go about making this strain. To be honest this is a cross I am planning for a year or 2 down the road. I haven't been working with any of these strains long enough to have found my "breeding traits" for each strain.

id say grow them all out
if you devote all your growing to the strain..
keep backups of all parents and all gererations; everything.

No one can for sure tell you how to cross these.

A strain like you want could take a long~ass time.

Your asking for help, tbh your leading this voyage sir. pioneer?

Cross them and see what works. Noone can know which order. Sensi Star x deep chunk? Stabalised then crossed to takenti and stabalised then sharksbreath? who knows........

you might even end up with stabalised strains that are good enough to be called there own before you even get near your desired cross, if you take That^ path anyway.......

might even end up with something far exceding your expectations and nothing even close your goal, then again you might just as easily have a mess.............

Well said nept. I'd say to use the strains that most resemble what you want for the mothers and since males are harder to judge use the more consistent strains for the fathers. Since deep chunk and tashkenti are fairly stable and consistent I'd say use them for the males also deep chunk is supposed to be quite dominant so using it as the mothers mother may end up having it dominate the hybrid. I'd say to work with the 2-way hybrids first because you may get what you want out of that without having to go any further.
